Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0936167A2] The periphery of the bottom roll (5) incorporates a sensor (20), outside the zone touched by the textile fabric (10) in normal operation. The sensor responds to the presence of the textile fabric. The signal of the sensor is used to prevent the entering of the fabric, guided along the roll periphery, into the roll gap (6).
